:D HAHAHA! I thought it was just a box to. But guess what it is like 3 or 4 boxes . Wow. Yeah I guess it could be cool but you will have to do a lot of work on it. So how do you shoot. You are gonna make it with shooting right?

I see a layer problem...the little box is overlapping the house thing.

Good start, but that 2nd closest bunker is beneath the 3rd bunker when you move a certain way.... now let's get some action in there!

It'd be interesting to see a turn-based paintball game like chess or that Paintcheck game. I don't feel like paying money though to buy the game though :D

there already is a turn based online paintball game

nah this will be free, I will add in randomness so guys pop out different sides and at different times. It will be a 5 man game. I will set many varibles etc, so it will make it more like the real thing. Also I will fix the layering issue, by using transparent gifs, was to lazy to do it early, I was just messing around for my project. The mouse will shoot, and you can get hit. Most of it will rely on randomness, so you can get hit by poping out etc, so it makes it more realistic than the doomish games.

First of all, it looks great!

But one thing I see wrong, I can be standing completley behind the yellow box/bunker and still get shot. Is it supposed to do that?

[hostage]

If i fixed it, it wouldn't be as hard.

Cool! I think you should change the graphics for the other players, and somehow add the ability to move up? And more bunkers! This is great!

Javascript looks like it could be fun. Is it hard to learn? I might buy a book on it so I could make some things, also would html come in handy since I already know it?

[hostage]

well, did this for a class project, do know if i will add more features.

Javascript is a very low level scripting language. It shouldn't be that hard to learn and it works directly with html, so knowing html is a deff +. Just dont go over kill.

That is better than I could have done. How much time did you have to do it? It is not all that bad.

[hostage]

well we were given 2 weeks. I worked on 3 different days for varying lengths of time.

I keep getting out when there's no one shooting at me =/

[hostage]

heh...well think of it this way, either it was a snap shot, you got shot in the foot, or you got bunkered ;-)
